Sabrina Carpenter has secured her fifth consecutive No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, as her current single, “Bed Chem,” claims the top spot on this week’s radio ranking. Carpenter’s current chart-topper follows her previous Pop Airplay No. 1 hits, “Taste,” “Please Please Please,” “Espresso,” and “Feather.” With this accomplishment, Short n’ Sweet becomes the first album in nearly a decade to produce at least four Pop Airplay No. 1 hits, since Taylor Swift’s 1989 featured five chart-toppers back in 2014-15. Carpenter, who opened for Swift’s Eras Tour in 2023-24, also shares the longest consecutive streak of No. 1s since Swift’s run in 2014-15. The record for the longest uninterrupted runs of No. 1s — six each — belong to Katy Perry with her series of chart-topping hits from 2010’s Teenage Dream, and Lady Gaga, whose four No. 1s from The Fame were followed by two more in 2010, “Bad Romance” and “Telephone” (featuring Beyoncé).
